Meyer, who was the ninth pick in the baseball expansion draft in November of 1976, did not disappoint his new team in 1977, as he batted .273 with 22 homers and 90 runs batted in while playing first base.
It would be the best year of his 12-year career, and he’d play for the Mariners through the 1981 season before moving on to the Oakland A’s for four years before retiring after 1985.
Over those 12 seasons, Meyer batted .253 with 86 home runs and 459 runs batted in playing for the Detroit Tigers, Mariners and A’s.
